The Psychogeographer's Guide to Weston-super-Mare

Spent yesterday recce-ing for locations, which generally meant driving around Weston with my camera, doing emergency stops whenever I saw something of interest. We've decided to try and make Weston look interesting, which, for people who are only familiar with such delights as the Sea Front, the Grand Pier and the Sovereign Centre, will sound like a challenge too far.

In fact, a lot of the older part of town - on the hill - looks great, so we will be shooting around there. It almost has a Lovecraftian feel to it on certain days, or at certain times of day. Something to do with the light. On the day, of course, we won't have the sunlight at our beck and call, but a nice even light should be good enough.

I'm doing another day of recce-ing, probably on Friday. Tomorrow I'm off to see the Film Council and a prospective DOP in London
